https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7pu2OO2DQg Wendy Williams has not taped any new episodes since May, and she will not be back on the air anytime soon. The talk show host tweeted, “I miss you and can’t wait to get back in my purple chair and show you what we did to the set. I L💜VE you for watching!”
Then she added, “The 12th season of WENDY starts SEPTEMBER 21! I can’t wait to get back to all of YOU and to my AMAZING staff and crew!! I’m sooo excited to bring you silly, funny, glamour and hopefully brighten your day during these crazy times that we’re all living in, even if for just an hour.”
It will be interesting to see if, by September, shows in NYC will be able to allow audiences in for tapings. Jimmy Fallon is back doing The Tonight Show at 30 Rock, but he does not have a studio audience. There are reports that Saturday Night Live is also planning to do their show without a live audience for the first time in over 40 years.
I wonder if Wendy will still go back without butts in the seats because I have a feeling that won’t be allowed until next year at the earliest. I mean, if Broadway won’t open until at least January, I doubt her show will be any different.
A few years ago, I interviewed Aimee Carrero on the set of Young & Hungry, and she told me she was voicing a Disney’s first Latinx Princess Elena of Avalor. As soon as she told me about it, I told my friends, so that my niece would watch it. Not only did she fall in love with the Princess, so did a lot of other little girls. She was an inspiration to all of them.
Now her journey is coming to an end on August 23rd at 7p. Disney Junior is giving her a primetime special as her sendoff. That is when we will see the Princess become a Queen in Elena of Avalor: Coronation Day. Before she gets the jeweled crown put on her head, we can watch her final days as a Princess starting this Sunday and every Sunday leading up the series finale at 5p.
The special will include all of the series regulars, Jenna Ortega, Chris Parnell, Yvette Nicole Brown, Carlos Alazraqui, Emiliano Díez, Julia Vera, Christian Lanz, Jillian Rose Reed, Joseph Haro, Jorge Diaz, Keith Ferguson, and Joe Nunez. They will be joined by guest stars Constance Marie, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jaime Camil, Justina Machado, Gina Rodriguez, Mario Lopez, Rachel Brosnahan, Tony Shalhoub, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, John Leguizamo, Cheech Marin, Whoopi Goldberg, Cloris Leachman, Chrissie Fit, Tyler Posey, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Kether Donohue, Nestor Carbonell, Andrea Navedo, Eden Espinosa, Ana Ortiz, Gina Torres, Gaby Moreno, Jenny Slate, Mark Hamill, Fred Armisen, Andy Garcia, and Patrick Warburton. That is one star-studded goodbye party.
It is sad that her time is coming to an end, but at least she leaves a Queen, Disney’s first Latinx Queen. Not bad for a girl from Avalor.
Let’s be honest, 2020 sucks balls. Well, here is some good news for us ladies. Heidi Klum tried on a pair of jeans today, and she couldn’t get them buttoned up. The supermodel is just like us!
Tomorrow is Alex Trebek’s 80th birthday. Even though he has no plans on retiring, Good Morning America’s TJ Holmes asked the host who he wants to replace him on Jeopardy when that time comes. Trebek said that he wants someone younger and funnier, so he went with his good friend Betty White. If you think Trebek smack talks the contestants, wait until Miss Betty has the power.
Trebek, who is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer, also talked about what his fans mean to him. He said, “They are the most important elements in my life outside of my family and friends. I can’t help but to be touched by what they have to say and by what I mean to them. And it is humbling. It is nice to be humbled.” We are humbled by him warmth and generosity.
Trebek gave us a gift, today his memoir The Answer Is… Reflections on My Life is out. In this interview, we found out that he curses a lot in it. That makes me want to read it even more and makes me adore him more than I do now. What is, Who knew he swears?
